Songs missing at Apple Music

Yesterday I installed Apple Music on my devices, but I'm noticing a lot of bugs in this service.


First, I cannot access almost 90 of my songs (these songs are at iTunes, but I can't access from my iPhone or my iPad, after the update). When I was using iTunes Match I could access all my songs, but now some songs disappeared from my iPhone.


By the way, most of these songs that disappeared I bought at iTunes Store.


For example: I have 10 songs of John Mayer, all bought at iTunes Sotre. I can see (and hear) all the 10 songs at my iTunes for Mac, but when I use to the app Music on my iPhone/iPad I can only see and listen 5 of these songs. I even tried to put these 5 missing songs at a list at my iTunes (shared with iCloud), but when I access the same list at my iPhone, it is empty.


Is this happening with anyone else?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

I to have lost most of my music, I have a iPhone 5s using iOS 9.1 All my music was lost although Ihave managed to get some back. The albums are there in my iTunes but can only be played online and cannot be found when trying to play offline. This applies to my iTunes account on pc using windows and on my iPhone.

They can be found online when I play but not found when i try to retreive purchased items from Appstore ??? What is this ********

My music (bought through iTunes) is also missing. And it's so screwed up how they have it organized now. I can't just click on an album and listen to every song. I did the free trail, but did not subscribe. I HATE it!! Luckily I have a Samsung where the music service is much better.

While I'm at it, my iPad Air is a piece of sh*t. I type a letter, it types it twice, it skips a space in the middle of a word and too many other issues to mention.

I was thinking of buying a iPad Pro, but then thought, I'll have it a few months and then that one will screw up also. The iPad I had before the iPad air, I brought to the Apple Store. They said they fixed it, but they did not. So then like an idiot, I bought an iPad air.

So now I'm Samsung all the way.

BIte me, Apple!

UPdate, I went to download a song through Apple music i had previously downloaded. (Cancelled subscription and signed out of Apple music) a message appeared say.ing I had to turn in the iCloud music (can't remember what it said exactly). It took me to music, iCloud music library. I turned on this option and selected merge. All my old songs and new songs are there. I hope this helps and lasts!!!!

Apple thinks that they're in the hood. Firstly, I log in to iTunes with my CORRECT username and CORRECT password, and they say that it's incorrect. I even had to change it, and it still says it's incorrect. What kind of madness is that? There was also another message saying "Cannot connect to iTunes Server". ***.. It's 2016, of course you can.


Also, Apple or iTunes had DELETED ALL OF MY PURCHASED SONGS from my Library. Talk about rude... I might have to think about getting an android phone or Windows Phone. Either way, Apple is definitely going downhill. I also have a Virgin SIM card and a really ****** SKY broadband. If I were to go on YouTube, with my WIFI and sim on, it would say PlayBack error. I turn the WIFI off, and the SIM on, PLAYBACK ERROR. I turn my provider off and WIFI on, PLAYBACK FREAKIN ERROR!!! When the consumers tell you to do what you're asked, then DO WHAT YOU'RE ASKED WITHOUT STUPID ERROR MESSAGES OR EXCUSES. IT'S GETTING REALLY OLD! FIX UP, APPLE IT'S 2016!!!

I believed All of you guys, today is the 8th of April, 2016., iTunes and all of their updates is still SICK since the day i bought my first iPad and iPhone 1 (the Original) in 2007. Apple will ALWAYS and still will always mess up the iTunes since the inscription of it way back in 2007. So, AMEN to all of us! I am tired of finding ways to fix all of this missing songs and crap and stuff, it was simpler then. Then next year 2017., after a decade of music, Apple will come up with a new "messed up" update again to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of iTunes.

I Had this problem as well BUT I FIXED IT!!!

GO into settings then into music settings then turn on iCloud music library. It will ask you if you want to replace the library or merge it. Merge it. Then scroll down to Add playlist songs to my music and turn that on. Then you are done!!User uploaded file

A friend had this problem and said that he figured out the answer...


All of his "missing" songs were in albums with multiple artists and were thus suddenly and unknowingly put into COMPILATIONS!


He looked at complilations and... there were all of his 'missing" tracks!


Just an idea... And one CAN select an album that was originally set with different artists and bulk-change them to all one artist which should make it no longer a compilation.
